Dear all, I have been using suse 9.1 (kernel linux-2.6.5-7.151 with standard config from the installation) for a while on my desk bi-cpu p4 with nvidia card. As long as I don't use the pc for theoretical calculation everything seems okay except IMHO an excessive fan speed, but when I start to use the cpu for calculation I got this message from the kernel: CPU#0: Temperature above threshold CPU#1: Temperature above threshold and a "beep-beep" sound from the case. I checked in /proc/acpi/thermal_zone but the dir is empty. lsmod gives: button 10384 0 battery 12804 0 ac 8964 0 fan 8196 0 thermal 16648 0 processor 21568 1 thermal p4_clockmod 9988 0 freq_table 8832 1 p4_clockmod i2c_i801 13200 0 i2c_dev 14976 0 i2c_sensor 7168 0 i2c_core 28932 3 i2c_i801,i2c_dev,i2c_sensor Looking at the config.default I saw that there are some misconfingurations (i.e. i586 rather than p4) so I am wondering if it is worthwhile to recompile the kernel (i.e. the new one 2.6.11.10 vanilla) or I can fix it downloading some patch. The upgrade is okay. Could anyone help me to fix this problem? Thanx L
